Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Got something that's bugging you?

Want to vent, but don't want a response?

Sometimes our minds can get stuck in circles trying to sort out an issue. This can keep you up at night, or make it hard to focus on other things. I find that putting things away, and not thinking about it temporarily can be helpful.

This is the place to get it out, and then give yourself permission to let it go.

Maybe you will need to get back to it some other time, but this is space where you can put it in a place so that you can leave it for some time and (try) not to worry about it in the mean time.

It's a thread where people don't need to reply, it purely just to get it out your worry and concerns.

If you want to show your support for someone, hit the 'like' button. In this thread, 'like' doesn't mean that you 'like' someone's issue, but you support them in letting it out.

So write down your concerns, put it in a vault, shut the door, and allow yourself to walk away from it.

Pls note: If you are reading other people's posts, please respect that they don't want a response. Show your support by 'Liking' their post.

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Feeling scared. Feeling helpless. Worried beyond belief. I don't know what to do. I miss my beautiful friend so very very much and I can't stop worrying about her. I am trying so hard to stop all the scary things that are going through my head but I can't help it. It's so hard not to think about the what if's. I truly hope everything is ok but something inside me, something in my heart is telling me that things are not ok. I hope you are ok!

I am safe...

Last night I had a strong thought just to go to sleep and not wake up. The pain in my heart hurt so bad. Mixed with grief, aloneness, despair. I can feel myself going far away

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

I hate depression. It makes me feel worthless... Or whether all the study I've done is not going to be useful... Also COVID-19 brought back all the memories when I first got depressed which was when I was doing Distance Education for high school...

So Uni feels a bit like a degree factory... because I've done reduced courseloads and things and there's this 10 year credit rule... Like I emailed the student services about what the situation was going to be in Semester 2 re online teaching or not and then I got an email from the Disability Advisor about not making an appointment with them until I make a decision about studying or not... (Like I kind of wish someone in student services hadn't forwarded it on the Disability Advisor)

And I don't like how Faculty is like... you need x courses to complete re a program rules...

So I randomly looked up a thing to do with an article re discipline I'm studying re assessing skills and knowledge... Like there's no one at the University who could like refer me onto someone to go through that re external or pay someone to help me... because all academic advice is about the future courses you will do (not whether your illness or time has potentially corrupted the knowledge needed for future courses... or how to remedy that)

Oh I hate in some ways they create majors where there are only two compulsory major courses, rest are courses that you can choose from which are common to other majors so you don't feel like you belong to a cohort of students... Maybe, with these sort of majors they should create a optional fortnightly seminar or something that students in this major can go to but it doesn't matter what level you are at re 1,2,3 year level gives you the opportunity to interact with people who want to interact with others. And especially with reduced course loads you feel out of it... or when I was doing a dual degree but my ordering of courses wasn't typical because of missed semesters...

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

Woke to sirens
what a pain
Transports me back
to the darkest day
On and on
Saving some poor soul
Why couldn't they
save my girl?
Too slow, too slack
Now they torture me
Over and over again
Fnt Take me back there

Re: Worry Room - Get it out, and walk away: No responses please

The thoughts in my head have turned into voices again.

I keep getting asked “Are you better”? When are you coming back to work? We need you at work.

I am safe but what will happen if Igo home next week?

I can’t do this anymore, it’s just too hard. I’m so sorry.

Hi @Eve7 ,

Understanding as always that this is a venting thread, I am still feeling a bit concerned so I've just dropped you a private email.

Much care and gratitude and hope you are doing well,

Otter

Blonde hair a mess because it hasn't been brushed in days, vegimite in the corners of her mouth after eating her lunch and a smile on her face as her big sister reminds them that they are going home to daddy's tomorrow. Her room has been stripped of toys and her pillow and she is told she must describe in detail what happened and also how the doctor "looked" after her and she must say to the recorder. In room all by herself with nothing to hug nowhere to hide. Mum said she she didn't she would go back to daddy's ever again. Who does that to a 5 year!!! This came up in my MH session today, we hadn't thought about this in years and honestly thought it was forgotten. I have never walk out of session with Nat wishing I would just die but today has broken even me, as protector I failed in my duty to care for us so many times. I am useless and pathetic excuse for a protected.
